Logtown appears on the 1908 USGS Map http://docs.unh.edu/nhtopos/PortJervis.htm
But - where did the name come from?
Why has it persisted?
Who named it?
Is there a log? (Baton Rouge has a stick - shouldn't Logtown have a Log?) Inquiring minds with too much time on their hands want to know!!!

Logtown, NY is a community located in Orange County

"Logtown," so called from the fact that the logs cut there were run down West creek, which empties into the Mohawk at Auriesville. Logtown was never an organized village, but was a central meeting place for the pioneers for a great many years. It was the scene of some of the early Indian conflicts with the settlers. The settlement was patriotic and furnished soldiers for the revolution, and Peter Hall with his neighbors did some private disciplining of Tories, on their own account, which led the crown authorities to offer rewards for their apprehension.
